It took me 5 months to finish my Project Life January photos.  What a relief!

Documenting life is very time consuming, but when I look back at the photos and the journaling, it puts a smile on my face.  It’s weird to describe the feeling: kids grow, adults age, pets age, surroundings change, etc.  There’s so much change all the time all around.  We don’t realize how much change there is until we get the opportunity to sit down and think about it or flip through a photo book.  This is so off topic but my 12-year-old can’t imagine a time when we didn’t have cell phones or computers.  Yes, I grew up without a computer in my home until I was 18 years old, and then, it was only AOL chatrooms.  I told daughter that when I was in middle school and high school, we had pagers.  Well, I couldn’t afford a pager but my friends had pagers.  It was the cool thing then.  You’d carry this pager on your belt loop or something and it would either peep or vibrate which would prompt you to find a pay phone.  Pay phone?  LOL!  Daughter has never seen one of those.
